Antique 19th century hand forged harpoon.
This crude yet fascinating iron harpoon dates back to the early 1800s and was once used in the harsh world of maritime hunting. Such tools were employed to catch fish, seals, or even small whales, reflecting the perilous life of whalers at sea.
The piece is hand wrought and forged from iron, featuring a conical socket designed to attach a wooden shaft. Its rough, utilitarian form speaks of function over beauty, a true working tool rather than a decorative object.
Today, it stands as a remarkable relic of seafaring and whaling history. It would make a striking addition to any maritime collection, cabinet of curiosities, or display of nautical artifacts.
After nearly two centuries, the harpoon survives in worn but stable condition. It bears an oxidized patina that highlights its age and authenticity. To preserve its surface, it has been treated with antique wax, offering a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish.
